Anneleen Masschelein explores the vagaries of this 'unconcept' in the twentieth century, beginning with Freud's seminal essay 'The Uncanny,' through a period of conceptual latency, leading to the first real conceptualizations in the 1970s and then on to the present dissemination of the uncanny to exotic fields such as hauntology, the study of ghosts, robotics and artificial intelligence. She unearths new material on the uncanny from the English, French and German traditions, and sheds light on the specific status of the concept in contemporary theory and practice in the humanities. This essential reference book for researchers and students of the uncanny is written in an accessible style. Through the lens of the uncanny, the familiar contours of the intellectual history of the twentieth century appear in a new and exciting light. 410 0$aSUNY series, insinuations. 606 $aAesthetics, Modern$y20th century 606 $aFantastic, The 606 $aUncanny, The (Psychoanalysis) 615 0$aAesthetics, Modern 615 0$aFantastic, The. 615 0$aUncanny, The (Psychoanalysis) 676 $a154.2 700 $aMasschelein$b Anneleen$f1971-$0801312 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956891903321 996 $aThe unconcept$94352537 997 $aUNINA
